cable; use protective grommets wherever
rough openings are encountered.

If the antenna is mounted outside, route the
cable from the antenna position to the interior
of the home, working the cable through the
basement,under a window sill, etc.; make
adjustments and take up slack whenever
necessary.

e. If outdoors, either leave the antenna in place

atop the XB9, or remove the antenna and find a
location free from overhead obstructions such
as tree branches, or the roof of a tent or other
temporary shelter.

Plug the antenna cable into the ANT connector
on the back of the Boom Box.

If not using battery power as the primary power
source, plug the female end of the DC Adapter
cable into the “DC 12V receptacle on the rear of
the Boom Box.

h. Plug the other end of the DC adapter cable

into a 110-volt wall receptacle. Apply power to
the Boom Box and Receiver.

splice it or attach alternative connectors or

XB9 are specially chosen and attached at the
factory to ensure that they will work with XM’s

antenna extension kit from your local con-

could damage the unit.

antenna position and should be marked.

b. After determining the optimum position, turn

off XB9 and Receiver power, disconnect the
power adapter from the wall outlet receptacle
(if indoors) and disconnect the antenna cable.

c. When indoors, plan the routing of the antenna

cable to the cradle. Make sure you avoid any
obstructions that could crimp, kink or twist the
